HVAC system repair has chilling effect
Feeling a bit chilly in your office lately? MSUM employees have wondered why we’re running the air conditioning in the low 60s during the summer. The short is answer is that we’re replacing several of our steam pipes which would otherwise bring the temperatures back to normal in our buildings. Sound silly? It’s a standard and sustainable practice. In order to control humidity and maintain healthy and comfortable levels of indoor air, we must cool the fresh air to the upper 50s to remove the water vapor. We then reheat that air to the 70s once the humidity has been removed. If you are experiencing discomfort, Physical Plant staff can make specific adjustments in your area.
